mitt romney is a very honorable and gracious man and a very talented leader, but the republican party has some work to do and if you do a gap analysis of this election, you see a significant gap of course with hispanic and latino voters, with women voters, with blue collar voters, i've said once before we need to be the party of not just the country club but also sam's club. then we have some other work to do, too, piers. when you go out to the people in the marketplace and you ask for their vote, they want to be able to see that you can relate to them with their concerns and their worries, and governor romney i think had a very good message but let's tip the cap to the obama campaign in this regard. they had an organizing and voter i.d. and get out the vote effort that i think was not only under the radar screen but was incredibly effective and they out-hustled the republicans in that regard. >> with the benefit of hindsight was paul ryan the wrong pick as his v.p. choice? in the sense that you just had another middle class white guy and it maybe just sent the wrong image to american

any time the republican candidate is viewed as the tax sector. in many had to defend his position in the debate he was a way out of his way to say if you are wealthy and all you're not getting anytax cuts, and it was a defensive argument on a fundamental issue rather than pointing president obama had twice argue in public that raising taxes in an economic downturn would doom the economy. the president of the united states said th and iran on a proposal. lou: two things that seem peculiar. i would love for both of you to respond. i heard a lot of bonn, about the tea party. the tea party did not exist in is election. it was a non factor. why in the world would there be so much concern in the republican party about the tea party. why was there an idea that you're better off today than you were four yars ago and pick 2008 as the year, the baseline, and it was a lousy year. in point of fact, just about everybody is. what do you make? very quickly. >> your immediate question, yes, we were better off than the dept of being in a whole. president clinton

today, cbs reported a republican adviser said that actually mitt romney was "shell-shocked" by his loss in florida and his florida adviser today expressed regret, telling the "miami herald"... >> jennifer: well, he isn't the only one looking forward to the next fight. washington insiders are ready to rumble over the fiscal cliff and how to keep the country from careening over it, for a sense of what's at stake let's just take a tiny peek over the edge. if congress cannot reach a deal, every tax cut that was enacted since the year 2001 would expire. most importantly the bush tax cuts. and that means an average $3500 tax increase per household. on top of that, we would see $110 billion in spending cuts next year followed by $1.2 trillion in spending cuts over the next ten years. now all of the pundits and the prognosticators and the prospect purveyors and the public accountants, they all predict that going over the fiscal cliff is going to wreak havoc on the economy. it's called the fiscal cliff. it's described in the suicidal terms. it is apocalyptic. it is armageddon, the end of everyth
